A little bit difficult to locate.
00:21
Perhaps you have more info on that?
00:23
Well,
00:24
If it's down by the men's locker room on zero, I'm assuming it's down by the basketball courts of the rec center.
00:32
Does that sound correct or?

That's affirmative, I do believe you're right on that.
00:38
Okay, I'm in route 12 on 35 and just sent.
00:42
So for fire, if that is the location,
00:45
It might be quicker for them just to come down to and enter through the tunnel of Nippert.
00:51
If that's the elevator that you and I are thinking it is, then it's going to be right here by the tunnel entrance.

Okay.
01:32
The only elevator I know of is the one that's where you and I are talking about, and I hit the button and it was up and it came all the way down to what was on it.
01:41
Can we maybe call them back and see if they got off already?
01:45
